Who's the highest-rated England star in the Premier League?

With the international break just around the corner and England’s squad for friendlies against Germany and Lithuania announced, how have members of Gareth Southgate’s side fared in the Premier League this term?

WhoScored have done the leg work and ranked the top ten English performers in the top flight.

Unsurprisingly, Harry Kane, who actually missed out on this latest squad through injury, is firmly in top spot – with a healthy 7.49 score.

He is one of a glut of Tottenham players in the list, which include Danny Rose in second position and then there is West Ham hitman Andy Carroll in third.

What comes as a surprise though is that 34-year-old striker Jermain Defoe, who was recalled to the England squad, is not in the top-ten list.

Wilshere gets his own age wrong during interview

The Arsenal midfielder, who is on loan at the Cherries this season and turned 25 on New Year’s Day in January, actually forgot his own age during the Sky interview.

Discussing his constant battles with injury and whether or not he still has a long-term future at the Emirates Stadium, Wilshere said: “I’ve started to realise I’m not that young any more. You know, I’m 24.”

The Twitter world was quick to pick up on the fact Wilshere is 25, not 24.

And there were plenty of people on social media who had a laugh at the Bournemouth star’s expense.

Jack Wilshere on Sky: “I’ve started to realise I’m not that young any more. You know, I’m 24.” It’s amazing he’s still playing at that age.
